HPE MSA2 1TB 2.5" 12G 7.2K DP 512e SAS HDD

The HPE J9F50A is a 1 TB hard drive created for HPE MSA and P2000 storage arrays, so it drops straight into those enclosures without firmware juggling or compatibility worries. Because it arrives in the genuine HPE tray and carries the exact code these arrays expect, models such as the MSA1040, MSA2040, MSA2050, and legacy P2000 units detect it instantly.

Inside the chassis, the drive spins at 7200 RPM, delivering dependable performance for workloads like departmental file sharing, small virtualization clusters, or backup targets that need predictable throughput rather than flash-level speed. Its dual-port SAS connection operates at 12 Gb/s, giving you redundant paths for multipathing and the bandwidth to keep multiple hosts fed with data at the same time.

Hot-plug support means you can add or replace the drive during regular business hours without scheduling downtime. Slide the tray into an open 2.5-inch bay, wait for the array to recognize the new capacity, and begin provisioning volumes right away. This convenience is especially valuable in branch offices or growing labs where IT staff need to maximize uptime and respond quickly to changing storage demands.

Whether you are expanding an existing disk group, building a fresh RAID set for a new project, or keeping a few spares on hand for rapid swap-in, the J9F50A gives you a straightforward, vendor-approved path to more space.
